That's it! Thank you so much! Man, it must be at least eight years since I last saw that.

Wow. By sheer coincidence I just saw that last night on Pluto TV's Classic Toons channel.
Wow, my grandmother had "The Cobweb Hotel" on a VHS along with Little Lulu , that I watched as a little kid in the '90s. I couldn't remember it either, and I forgot the fountain pen part so it was really hard to describe. Thanks for asking, Bad Wolf 21, and thank you, answerer!!!
This is an old cartoon. And I mean OLD. I can't place the time-frame exactly, but I'd hazard a guess at the 30s or 40s. It could be later, I'm not sure. It's about a spider who opens up a hotel in order to trap flies. Two flies stay at the hotel and end up assaulting the spider with fountain-pen tips. It's all done in a style reminiscent of an old Disney or Merry Melodies cartoon. My grandmother had it on a video that featured either old Superman cartoons, or Little Lulu. Or those could be completely unrelated, but I think they might be involved. Anyone know what it's called? I'd try to find it myself, but a severe phobia of spiders basically prevents me from nonspecifically googling them.
